Venue
The Detective Rooms in Durham is an immersive, realistic crime-investigation experience co-founded by private investigator Jen Jarvie and former forensic expert Howard Little.
Unlike traditional escape rooms focused on puzzles and beating a clock, participants analyse physical evidence, review witness statements, and build timelines to solve authentic cases.
We'll have the pleasure of seeing all their immersive spaces at the event and learn more about what they have to offer you as businesses and those wishing to attend at leisure.
